off topic but this crash has put tim burgmeister in hospital at fuji race in super gt

hope he is ok

Saw that news just after i saw there's been the big shunt at Spa... thought maybe he was the guy who crashed... but that shunt is insane....He's got no spinal or head injuries, but he's received heavy injuries to his side

The car is one of last years Aston Martin challengers, instead of scrapping the two cars aston sold both to Pescarolo.

Not really, Aston had a few spare crash test monocoques and sold two to Pescarolo, who built whole new cars around them. The general shape of the car is the same but the details are largely different. Henri Pescarolo himself said the aerodynamics would be 100% different because the AMR-One "never worked".

And the Pescarolo 03 uses a Judd V8 instead of the Prodrive straight-6 turbo engine.
